I am giving a talk at a work event in Vegas during hacker summer camp and - i kid you not - this is the template we were given. So ofc I could not resist the feminine urge to use it appropriately.

And yes, it does bother me that I did not effectively center ‘brat’.

Sorry this is cropped within an inch of its life to ensure I did expose any actual work stuff.

Window management in #macOS #Sequoia is cursed.

I've clicked the arrange 2x2 icon *once*, and since then all new app windows keep opening squished to quarter size.

The single-item fill option does not maximize windows. It keeps adding inter-column gaps to all sides of the screen too. So many unwanted gaps, it's like USA bathroom stalls.

Sinclair top anchor Eugene Ramirez quits over slanted news he was forced to read.

“One of the primary issues that prompted Ramirez's resignation was the requirement to include at least three stories produced by Sinclair's Rapid Response Team (RRT) on a nightly basis…. Through July 4, 2024, the RRT has produced 147 stories this year that portray Democrats in a negative light and just 7 stories that portray Democrats positively."

It's really something that the Republican party is now facing off against a coalition so unwieldy and broad that the only tent big enough to cover it is the pro-democracy label.

If they were even 30% more fair-election-curious, they could shatter the D's narrative. But no, they're all in on coup apologetics and vote suppression and corruption and minority rule. Incredible.

#KOSA is a horrible bill, co-authored by a GOP anti-trans senator who wants to weaponize it against kids.

Anytime you see "bipartisan" legislation like this, alarm sirens should go off.

If you're in the US, calling your rep is one of the most effective ways to oppose legislation like this. The Stop KOSA site has an excellent calling tool that makes this easy. Please use it.

Have you ever given a presentation and wished you had an #rstats or #python console right there in your slides with you? Based on a great suggestion from a webR user, Quarto Drop is a #quarto extension that adds a fullscreen interactive console and code editor directly into a #quarto reveal.js presentation. The console is powered by #wasm, using #webR or #pyodide, and can be dropped down from above or hidden away with the click of a button or a shortcut key.
